For Mom, Love Steve

Above is one of the tourist boats made out of the reeds.

One of the things I did was to pay homage to the gods of the lake. I had a stash of coins from all the countries that I had visited. It was actually adding too much weight to the pack so it didn´t make the cut. I scattered them throughout the lake. Maybe a hundred years from now someone will find a Guyana coin and wonder how in the hell that got there.

A couple from leaving the port. The green was a pretty carpeted layer of vegetation. I know that it means pollution, but it looked cool. If I were a drinker I would have tried to run across the stuff.

The rest are of a few of the islands we met. They were these small islands made out of reeds. Each housed about ten families and were totally seperate from other islands. They each had a different name as well.

And that my folks is the end of Peru. I still might go back and edit the MP photos, but no promises.

Some Sacred Valley pics. The view on the way back to Cusco was awesome. Didn?t get any photos because of all the water fights.

The rest of these are all different areas of the Incan site. I liked this place better than MP because it was spread all over a couple different mountains, and the views of the valley were much better. I am sure the food back them was a lot more accessible here. This was the site where a tour took almost five hours which was based on starting on the top and not having to walk up from the city at the base.

I have some photos of the Carnaval as well but my laptop ate them. I need to see if I can recover them. It locked up halfway while copying the file folder so the last section is there but I can?t open them. Every time I try the computer locks up. I?ll work on it though.

I got there way too early. Being the rainy season, there was always morning fog that had to burn off. Still some cool photos. View image [Continue reading this entry]
